am 5 days post op and have had no issues - I have travelled 3 hours as a passenger in a car and ALL day I have felt like there is something stuck in my throat . WHY

it is driving me mad. i have been walking heaps and trying to burp but nothing helps. Please help!

have you been drinking enough water? maybe your a little dehydrated..

possibly not

I had that feeling my first week and I didn't get in enough fluids cause I was so sick and I had that feeling again for a day I ate something and It got stuck so I had to do a pb. It's probably mucus if you don't feel good. Usually with a pb I guess you don't really burp but mucus/slimy stuff comes up and the piece you ate. What made me feel better which I didn't want to do but couldn't be avoided tried to avoid it as long as I could and it just happened so it was like a vomiting but not actual vomiting nothing came up wish the feeling in my throat did. But after those episodes I started feeling better after I did that and I don't know why but that was my case with the stuck feeling in my throat sorry if I scared you ):

I dont think anything is stuck though as I am only 5 days post op - all I have had today is a bottle of water, 1 protein shake, a glass of juice and a tiny bit of youghurt.

I had that feeling too my first week, it was the swelling, it just takes time to go down. if you are really concerned I would just call the dr's office just to be sure.

I've had the same problem for 5 weeks now. I had a barium swallow test and discover that I'm having esophageal spasms. am taking medine for it, past two weeks, but still having them.

Did you have a barium swallow test? Do you know whether or not you are also having esophageal spasms?

hope you get better soon, it is miserable to always be aware of the band...

it could also be from the tubin they put in ur throat during surgery i had that feeling as well..and nothing i would do to make it better..it does get better though
